I'd be willing to rewrite the generator as I'm kind of doing that already. If I did it though it would be using libgdx / java / springboot but still on the web. It would also have the option to pack of the assets into a libgdx texture atlas, and allow logins where users can save assets / sheets they've created . It would also let users recolor the sprites but, how do I handle re-coloring sprites legally?

The best way would be to download the sprite sheets (from opengameart.org) and then write your own sprite sheet generator. The online one has issues especially with oversize weapons and some of the sprite sheets are incorrect or missing and not in the generator. A generator like that is not hard to make .All the generator does is layer the images on top of each other, and it supposedly changes their color. But, I could not get the color changing to work. If you're writing an open source game construction kit you should most likely already have image / sprite layering implemented. So writing the generator should be trivial. I'm writing one for my engine.

It was interesting to see that cliff ramps come in from the sides rarther than the front like i though they did. I think the main problem with cliffs is they have no shadows. I made some cliff shadows ( by making the  cliffs soild  tops black   and removing the edges (I plan to adjust the alpha in game).  I'm   trying figure out how to use. But since I'm procedurally making the cliffs in game  the challange is still there.

Are there any examples of the cliff ramp tiles being used I tried  making some cliffs with them but the perspective didn't look right.

tiles #1 don't seen to connect anything on the outer most right-left sides 

Tiles #2 seem to have no sitituation to to be used. 

Tiles #3 $4 and #5 I'm gussing are for diagonal / isometric cliffs or cliff on ramps? These are not used in the test map?

 

Tiles #6 I get  the uses for these but why are  the tops black?

do all of the tiles  for mountians v6 have uses ? some of the LPC  mountians  grass, sand, dirt, snow  Have tiles that don't seem to connect anything else  or at least any thing else useful / from the set .

what language frame work are you using? The easy way is just have  a soild black  32*32  texture with buildings outline  that is set somwhere between 4.-.6 on the alpha channel.  So It makes  the tiles nearer darker.

 

The more complex way is to make a floor  plan of the building using a pixmap and the make make that floor plan soild black  and then make it about .4 - .6 alpha transparent.

 

the best fastest way is to write  custom open gl  vertex shader / fragment shader  that makes tha shadows for you.

what is wrong with the lpc assetts? Your posts only serves to bash commies and atheists.

yes to look good the fruit must be covered by leaves for the last two,   you can always do  dragon fruit and I think you need some plums.

I have no idea what kind of edible flowers people eat I do know high end restraunts serve them. Some  people  I know do eat squash blooms.  Not sure that people eat them but passion flowers  are nice looking .  Patty pan squash would also be another interesting fruit.  I have been working with produrally genereated trees where you have a trunk and leaf clusters  and fruit clusters are drawn on to it. Using  some. algorithms I came up with .  The leafs I got down to  look pretty good and in nice tree shapes.  But fruit I could never get actually look like it was part of the tree.  Either the leaves covered it up or looked like  a 2d image drawn ver another 2d image  and not  like it was in the tree or gwoing on the tree.  Still working on the fruit.  I was using these leaves . I make  any resources I can gray scale and then color them later  usinga fragment shader to blend with a given color.   Ben Ben "cliams" to have drawn them  and says they are free to use.   If you have links to any better looking leaves  (or just different) or leaves you think would make nice trees please share them.
